Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing.
And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!

Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

Possibly the last one for this years RPM
The Only thing I feel
The wind blew against the window and brought the morning I
Sunlight hit the curtain and I’m sure it trying to break on through
My senses woke to the smell of tobbaco…
I was having a new gear day I received a new pedal for my Bass only £23 so I was playing with it with my eventide H9 and mojo mojo pedal and the tracks developed into this...corruption
Hope you enjoy
Another RPM
Reg starts to worry that he's forgetting his loved ones that have passed
Your memory fades
I can’t see your face no more in my mind
With my eyes closed your image starts to fade
I forgot your vioce how it…
Another for the RPM
Reg starts to thinking about things...
Why did God give us thought?
Everyones afraid of the darkness
close your eyes you dissapear
Suddenly you are nothing but a voice
Syllables of sound a constant…
Another RPM
Reg is dreaming of summer ....
Tangerine
I’m lost in myself on this cold Febuary morning
Walking the dogs trying to smiling inside
But my heart feels sad its yearning for the sunshine
Where everything…
Another RPM
Things are looking up for Reg I mean its nearly spring
Spring
I think I hear a whisper
I think I hear the whisper
Of spring
its on its way
I can see the snow drops starting to climb back into the world…
Another RPM
Reg is looking back on his childhood.
Mama says i can't play with you no more
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you
But mama says I can’t play with you no more
Your not like all the other boys
I can’t play with you no…
Lessons not, quickly forgotten.
Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden.
Troubled times, lay down often.
Catch the sky, once in a while.
No longer a sound.
Lack of presence feelin' down.
Nothing to put my arms around.
Emptiness is not profound…
I saw her mother
Just the other day
She didn’t know me
So I froze on what to say
When she was happy
Nothing made her frown
Danced so much
They even gave her a crown
She was , she was royalty
Really wish that she remembered me
She…
What's your angle?
Why, you want everything for free?
Is it your ego,
or how you want the world to be?
Chase your desire,
But your blind to the cost.
Grab at the surface.
Your ideology is lost.
You can't have it all!
This is the price…
Push & pull,
Left & right,
Up & down,
Don't forget your dog's in this fight.
Courage!
Might!
All so hard to see in this light.
Couldn’t put it any other way,
Hands up in the air as if they’re trynna say,
Will I ever be…
One last cup of coffee
Before I hit the road
Where I’m going
You only know
Don’t forget me
Once i’m sold
Breaking down slowly
I suppose so
I’m beaten up
But I’ve grown up
Beaten up
Grow up
You’ll make someone happy
For a year…
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
Now that you're ahead I wonder,
Will you turn and wait for me?
I wonder.
If I lost direction,
Would the favor return for free?
I wonder.
Hit the brakes, hit the brakes!
Wait…
I guess it's really gonna be farewell,
For as far as I can tell,
Once upon a time story sounds so swell,
the kind of story that we would tell,
We tell the children that it's all, alright,
Nursery rhymes to get through the night,
Hush little…
I saw you walk right by me without a second glance.
I heard you talking right behind my ‘ugly’ back.
Who knew that we could turn from friends to strangers so so fast,
I thought that this was just the end.
I always argued it was your fault…

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Love this playlist!!!!! It's keeping me company this morning with my tea!
Beautifully done.
Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing. And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!
I'm going to play this a lot along with She was dead ... fantastic.
Hauntingly beautiful. Well done!
Love the chord changes in the intro. Great hook.

Beautiful version
Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.
A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.
You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!
Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*
Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Especially the rhythm guitars on the choruses - those choruses really pop and bounce, must have been fun to play.
Nice one. Love those guitars. Cool track.
Oh yes.... A fine set of songs
LOVE THIS
Reg has been thinking the same sh!t I have!!! Omigod... I'm not Reg am I? Cool track
This drives along... nice one. My advice to Reg is to learn not to think - it's what most of they "Normals" do...
The sun is shining here. Sadly it means I probably ought to attempt the 1st lawn cut... but there is SO much cat poo...
I'm listening to this 3 weeks later.... and it's MUCH more springlike now... as long as you don't turn the radio or tv on :-/
Woah... I get the reference/influence... but this takes the idea a whole different place for me. Shivers down the back of my neck (and some memories)
Woah... superb ending. A mighty cool set of tracks guys. Well done.
I knew a girl like this... or is it more that I was like you? Guess we'll never really know! LOL (I certainly don't want to find out now!)
"this is kind of a banger.. *cowbell" LOL Mighty cool track!
Woah yeah.
Oh wow - that instrumental is perfect in an already cool track... I was about to type "cool riff" and the instrumental took off and took me with it.
Digging these songs.
Yeah, nice one. Like the imagery.
Good opener!
Another superb set of songs, as ever :)
Another goodie. Love the languid vocal on the verses... just sucks you in.
Love that chorus. The verses are pretty darn cool too... and I love how you used a truncated verse one as a middle eight.
